Intent 1:
To limit the probability of an inadequate bond between
stucco and its substrate, which could lead to:
- excessive shrinkage and cracking, or
- delamination or cracking under gravity, wind or impact
loads, or freeze-thaw stresses.
This is to limit the probability of:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, which could lead
to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of exterior
walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
- stucco detaching and falling from the building.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
